Hopefully we will have a "normal" week beginning on Monday. We spent this week reviewing previous lessons and routines/procedures.
During Reading we talked about the character's actions and feelings, and noticed patterns in our books. We also used sticky notes to mark our favorite place, where we made a connection, and/or where we noticed a pattern.
Our Shared Reading this week was Five Little Pumpkins. A copy was sent home today. Students found their sight words within the poem/song.
Sight Words - Our class words are - a, at, but, I, is, like, and the. Individual sight words will be sent home next week.
During Math we continued our Cathy Fosnot unit. We reviewed the story The Sleepover, and everyone made their own combinations of 8. We will continue making combinations of numbers to 10.
On Tuesday morning we had a mock election in class. Everyone voted and received their participation sticker.
During science we discussed Hurricane Sandy and continued our study of the Five Senses. We learned and played several Five Senses games.
Thank you so much for all the catalogs! Thank you to our Centers Volunteers for joining our class!
REMINDERS:
-
The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County is sending a truck on Thursday, November 15 to Holmes School. They will be outside in the front parking lot from 7:45 am to 9:15 am to accept turkey donations of any size, fresh or frozen. They are also taking Oven Stuffer Roaster chickens this year.
- Please send in a SEASONALLY appropriate change of clothes for your child. These are for playground accidents as well as potential bathroom accidents.
-
Now that the winter weather is here your student should wear snow boots/clothes for recess time. They will not be allowed to play in the snow unless they are wearing the appropriate clothing! The back field can be muddy, so even when there isn't snow on the ground, boots are a good choice. Please SEND IN A CHANGE OF SHOES, this helps to keep the kids comfortable and the classroom clean. Sneakers must be worn on Gym Days - Wednesday and Friday.
